I think it's going to end up like 1918. Some colleges didn't play at all, some played only a handful of games, some were able to play a larger schedule - GT was actually one of those, playing 7 games, 6 at home with two of them being against teams created at local army bases. The plan in terms...

Decatur HS has cancelled games before Sept 26th. Article also mentions that the GA High School Association Sports-Medicine Advisory Committee is meeting Wednesday after talking with Dr. Kathleen Toomey last Friday about concerns about the safety of football, cheerleading, chorus and band...

glad to be back online(last couple of weeks the mother in law has been in and out of the hospital and we are also working on closing on a new home) and alot has changed since I last was here. Happy to see each conference has a plan, have to see how well they play out. Based on MLB i'm excited to...

I would be thrilled to get 10 games. It feels like the more the beginning of the season gets postponed though the less likely we get 10 games. Sort of feels like Oct should be our sweet spot to get games in. NOV could get tough if cases are rising again at that time. if ND plays a full ACC...

Vote to keep an eye on tomorrow. Hopefully the NCAA will hold off on cancelling fall sport championships for at least a little while longer https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ncaa-board-of-governors-vote-could-strike-significant-blow-to-fbs-college-football-being-played-this-fall/

Gary Stokan says there has to be fans in the stands to make the Kickoff Classic games work https://sports.yahoo.com/fans-key-factor-save-3-kickoff-games-atlanta-172933725--ncaaf.html ''If there are no fans allowed in the stadium, then we can't do these games primarily because we only exist in...

Good article on trying to do some one off old rivalries to fill slots if the season happens https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/with-college-football-schedules-in-limbo-bring-back-these-defunct-regional-rivalries-for-2020/ PAC12 initial plans - 10 game conference schedule starting...

Right now GA's 7 day avg case rate and hospitalizations due to COVID have doubled in less than 3 weeks. The 7 day avg death rate for GA has doubled in 12 days. The positive test rate yesterday for PCR was 12.3%, for the last 7 day avg it is 15.1%. The percentage where GA combines the PCR and...

I can't speak to the interviews on FOX News and CNN since I don't watch either channel as both are hopelessly biased. Given the biases of both networks i'm not surprised by the reactions on either one. As far as this study, I went ahead and read it and it has a number of issues. First, Dr...

I feel like a crack addict, getting up every day, looking at sports sites for new news on college football. I know i'm not going to get a full season (ND AD's comments seem fairly realistic), but how much might I get and will any fans be allowed? Here's one question I have. If ACC, SEC, B12...

Louisiana made this same decision this week extending their Phase II for at least a couple more weeks.

Morning notes ND AD doesn't believe their will be a 12 game schedule, he's hoping for 8-10 games. he is also suggesting delaying the start. One issue is right now no one knows when you might be able to start the season...

NY has announced that no fans will be allowed at college sporting events this fall. No official word but this could mean basketball tournaments in NY may be played without any fans in attendance...

A couple of evening notes. Cal has announced they are going to start online only this fall https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/07/21/uc-berkeley-to-begin-fall-semester-with-remote-instruction/ Also, the NY/NJ/CT/MA group has added 11 more states to their quarantine list (and removed 1 - MN), so that...

I have fond memories of going to games at Lambeau as a child, even though they stunk when I was a kid. Except for maybe the one game against the Vikings in the late 1970's that was played in snow and bitter cold and went to overtime and ended in a tie (I still have a memory of my dad pulling me...

This wasn't meant to be taken as a negative. i was just saying that the P5 conferences want to play in the fall and will go as long as possible to keep that option alive (unlike some of the FCS conferences). it was just explanatory, not judgemental. The second statement is based on comments...

Will be weird to see a non-packed Lambeau.

So we have cautiously good news on vaccines. Multiple ones are showing some promise, but we are some ways from having anything useful. Multiple vaccines are moving on to phase 3 trials (these normally take a year and are where most vaccines end up failing). Researchers have to find the right...

The charts on the GA website are very misleading. They backdate the information so it always appears in the chart that the data is trending down the last 2 weeks. they have been doing that for a long time. This is the state that had a chart that showed a downward trend because they didn't have...

Texas has delayed the start of FB for its 2 highest HS classifications (mostly large city schools) to Sept 24 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/highschool/article/UIL-high-school-football-delay-5A-6A-covid-15423041.php SWAC becomes the first conference to cancel fall football...
